At just 16, the Korean will look to build on her recent success as she competes in the P1 million ICTSI Forest Hills Classic, which reels off Wednesday, Sept. 18, at the Nicklaus course of the Forest Hills Golf and Country Club in Antipolo.
After a two-month break, Jiwon Lee is set to make a strong return, bringing with her the momentum from a sensational victory at the Splendido Taal Golf Club.
Lee was already expected to headline the ICTSI Junior PGT Match Play at The Country Club after winning the first two legs of the series by an average of 16 strokes. However, her successful foray into the professional circuit after winning the Lakewood Championship – as an amateur – in June where she defeated veteran Chihiro Ikeda in a playoff – prompted her team to push her directly into the pro ranks. She hasn’t looked back since.
Standing in her way will be a field full of talent, including Mikha Fortuna, who narrowly missed out on the Splendido crown, along with proven winners like Harmie Constantino, Mafy Singson, Florence Bisera and Sarah Ababa, along with Laurea Duque and Seoyun Kim. The 54-hole ICTSI Forest Hills Classic, organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc., marks the seventh leg of this year’s LPGT circuit and serves as the final stop in Luzon before the tour heads to the three-leg Visaya swing next month.
